At RG Group we sell automation and robotics, and in the back of my mind there’s a niggling little voice that whispers “but what about the jobs…? Have I become a “Robophobe?” So, to shut up that annoying little voice, I decided to do what I always do and research the subject. I needed to dispel some of my own fears about robots and the future of automation.

I have been working in the hydraulic industry for 2 years now and have been trying to educate myself on just how hydraulics work. It’s been a bit difficult for me to relate to some of these giant structures with thousands of parts… I’m a graphic designer, not an engineer. But, I need to know and understand how they work so I can effectively promote our hydraulic systems and solutions.
